Rodney Crowell; I'm back on board that '49 Ford in 1956 Long before the sun came up way out in the sticks The headlight showed a two rut roadway Back up in the pines First time I heard Johnny Cash Sing I Walk The Line I got my thrill behind the wheel upon my daddys lap Grandpa rode co-pilot with a flashlight and a map Cane pole out the window it was in the summertime First time I heard Johnny Cash Sing I Walk The Line Johnny Cash; I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I Walk The Line I never will forget that day, I know the time and place, Sounded like the whole thing came right down from outer space, I still can see those headlights and that dashboard in my mind, The first time I heard Johnny Cash sing I walk the line. I find it very very easy to be true, I find myself alone when each day's through, Yes I'll admit that I'm a fool for you, Because you're mine, I walk the line Rodney Crowell; All these long years later it's still music to my ears I swear it sounds as good right now as anything I hear I've seen the Mona Lisa I've heard Shakespear read real fine Just like hearing Johnny Cash Sing I Walk The Line Johnny Cash; As sure as night is dark and day is light I keep you on my mind both day and night And happiness I've know proves that it's right Because you're mine, I Walk The Line Because you're mine, I Walk The Line
